I just got back from it. Someone i recently did a favor for works at a theater and they repaid by giving me a couple free tix to whatever i wanted to go to. My kids didn’t want to go at first, but i told them i wasnt paying, so let’s just go.
The crowd cheered at that line here too, and the pig w the crown, and the chicken jockey, and some other crap too. Jack Black is a goddamn travesty.
I heard two or three shouts of ‘technoooo’ and one ‘i love you techno’ when the pig showed up.
The whole movie was just a giant facepalm for me. There was no crowd laughter from funny moments, which i mean there wasnt any, it was just like recognition of jack black saying the word, or the theatergoers seeing the meme.
Nobody threw stuff at the screen, or was hollering; the crowd was relatively well behaved. But they CLAPPED, and holy shit they clapped, when chicken jockey showed up. and when jackblack went to minecrap land the first time, and when he said the movie thing. And the pig w the crown thing. But otherwise nobody laughed like at a normal comedy or whatever.
And there was no plot. Like, no plot. Some people move to Idaho, that was the only plot-like part of the story. It seemed written by AI as much as it was animated by AI.
It apparently had 28 writers. 28. Which probably explains why it is little more than a series of references to things. Some of those writers probably used AI, wouldn’t surprise me.

The pig with the crown was the biggest reaction at my theater. People were crying.

It was really weird.

It definitely explains the lack of flow
